The Brukenthal National Museum invites you on Friday, June 21, 2024, from 12 o`clock, in the temporary exhibition hall on the ground floor of the Museum of Contemporary Art within the Brukenthal National Museum, to the opening of the exhibition Performative Sculpture by the artist Cătălin Bădărău.
Performative Sculpture is a large-scale installation whose central element is the hand viewed as an actor of the gesture that can generate performative narratives. The exhibition aims to visually analyse the relationship between the sculptural object and its extensions in relation to the public and other artistic media by developing performative multimedia structures.
Cătălin Bădărău (b.1981) graduated from the National University of Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, with a master's degree in sculpture and a doctorate in visual arts. Bădărău’s works evoke the vulnerability of the human being in different social contexts, through objects and installations made of unconventional materials, such as silicone, sponge, glass, metal.

Cătălin Bădărău lives and works in Bucharest, his works being indexed in the English repertoire "100 Sculptors of Tomorrow"/ Courtesy of Kurt Beers (Beers London Gallery 2019).
